In November 2020, 42% of eligible voters were either retired, retiring, or unemployed. Since then under Biden, around 75 to 80% of the Trumpian unemployed have jobs now. That still shakes out to around a third of the country being retired or retiring by the 2024 election, i.e. they ain't the working man. They consume, they won't be producers. Very few will grow the economy in any significant way, and not having to drive to work and back five or more times a week from homes that are totally or mostly paid for, the only money they can recycle back into the economy will come from their property or their savings. But it won't be from wealth-creating labor.
Trump drew the votes of 35.6% of all eligible voters, had 41% of eligible voters voting for Biden or third party, and no candidate could convince 23.4% of eligible voters to vote for any Presidential candidate at all.
Trump could claim to be the candidate of some of the American "working man," but an overwhelming majority of working people didn't vote for Trump the last two times he was up to bat, and won't show up for him in future attempts either.
By the numbers, the "working man" is anti-Trump.
Maybe try the "Democrats want the retired and unemployed to eat dog food" route? 🤣😂🤣
Sounds like greater exposure of the "working man's gaze" is in order then. He's been alienated from himself by Hollyweirds constant "white liberal progressive gaze's" saturation of the gaze market.

I wouldn't be so sure. Every church loves their testimonials and conversion stories. It's just good marketing. Depending on if the Republican Party is stupid enough to run Donald Trump for President in 2024, there's quite a few Trump administration officials that jumped off that plague ship before the smell hit the harbor.
I'd put money on a Michael Steele and Reince Priebus duet... Two former Republican Party chairmen speaking at a Democratic Party convention to campaign against Trump would be quality television. And it would be the Republican Party's own fault.
Why do indoctrinated fascists like Silver Fish ignore the fact that rich republiturds showered donald tRump with money, and in return he cut the corporate tax rate bigly (35 to 21 percent)? :P
"repatriate the offshore corporate tax monies" is unnecessary. Tax them on foreign profits whether it is brought back to the US or not. And punish them for sending jobs overseas.
When it comes to encouraging behavior in our citizens that is helpful to the nation (as a whole) Minus says that -- for rich people the method should be 100 percent carrot. Though for poor people the methods of encouraging good behavior should be 100 percent stick.
I DO distrust you due to your strong impulse to punish SUSPECTS (citizens who have been charged and convicted of nothing) with "wood shampoos" or on-the-spot administration of the death penalty (via shooting in the back, knee to the neck, etc).
Minus is bigly offended that rich tax evaders are being "unfairly persecuted". "This cannot be tolerated!" he cries, filled with sorrow for the poor rich man who (in his delusions) is being "punished".
How do you make make energy and material costs too expensive to ship to cheap labor sources to manufacture into something you can import and sell at a profit?

What working man?

ReplyDeleteCan the anti-America RNC elites survive the "working man's gaze" come this November? :P
ReplyDeleteWhat's the over / under on the number of Trump administration officials that will speak at the 2024 Democratic National Convention?

ReplyDeleteYou should ask Lynn Cheney.
@ beamish - Zero over any denominator yields the same result.
ReplyDeleteI can't ask Lynn Cheney anything. I don't know who that is. As for working people, the smart ones know Democrats are on their side.
ReplyDeleteWhy do indoctrinated socialists like Darvon Sanders ignore the Progressive Democrat elites, and all the corporate money they bathe in?

Michael Steele was no Trumper. He was Maryland's Lt Governor "Oreo "Cookie".
ReplyDeleteSounds like he was a good RNC Chairman. (He was)
ReplyDeleteHe only had one useful quality, his skin colour.
ReplyDeleteI feel ya man. John Kerry, Donald Trump, both making the proud Oompa Loompas look bad with their left wing idiocy.

ReplyDelete"He only had one useful quality, his skin colour" = Racist admission.
ReplyDeleteI'm not the vanishing mediator that you pretend to be, Dervish. I don't need a pretense of "objectivity" to sustain my arguments.
ReplyDeleteps - Cuz unlike you, SF understands the need to repatriate the offshore corporate tax dollars and jobs before hiking rates.

That's very Nietzschean of you dervish.

Just remove the benefit of offshoring money to avoid taxation. Make there no taxation to avoid.
ReplyDeleteGood point, beamish. But then how would large corporations compete without making "the other guy" pay the "tax penalty"? Amazon wouldn't be Amazon.
ReplyDelete...we'd all still be shopping in-state at big box stores.
ReplyDelete...or driving across state lines to the "outlet stores".

Spooner was Amazon before Amazon (and Sears and WalMart)
